can't build Aporia on OS X 10.9

Question

can't build Aporia on OS X 10.9

Closed this issue 11 years ago · 16 comments

nimrod and babel both cloned from Github and built on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).

Cloned Aporia from Github and tried building by executing babel build, which fails with the following log:

FAILURE: Execution failed with exit code 1

Notice the Error: internal error: analysis not implemented for: nkFinally. I inspected the code in osproc.nim and there doesn't appear to be any try clause to correspond with the finally.
I know absolutely no nimrod yet - my intention was to set up Aporia first before trying to learn it - so I'm not really interested in attempting to fix this issue.

Answer 1 · 2014-02-07T18:57:18.000Z

I believe this is a compiler bug. You can try the workaround here: nim-lang/Nim#342 (comment)

Answer 2 · 2014-02-07T19:20:18.000Z

dom96, thanks for the reply. I tried the workaround you suggested but it didn't make any difference for me. The build fails with exactly the same error as before.

Answer 3 · 2014-02-07T19:22:44.000Z

That sucks :(
Wish I could fix it but I don't have a Mac.

Answer 4 · 2014-02-07T19:37:25.000Z

dom96,
Thanks for the quick responses.
I don't want to embarass myself here by attempting to scrutinize the code (since i don't know any nimrod, as I mentioned before), but.. does this code (from osproc.nim:607-620) look all right to you?

    var sys_command: string
    var sys_args_raw: seq[string]
    if poEvalCommand in options:
      sys_command = "/bin/sh"
      sys_args_raw = @[sys_command, "-c", command]
      assert args.len == 0
    else:
      sys_command = command
      sys_args_raw = @[command]
      for arg in args.items:
        sys_args_raw.add arg

    var sys_args = allocCStringArray(sys_args_raw)
    finally: deallocCStringArray(sys_args)

The last line has a finally but there's not a try in the entire source file.

Answer 5 · 2014-02-07T19:41:09.000Z

Yes, that code is correct: http://build.nimrod-lang.org/docs/manual.html#except-and-finally-statements

Don't worry about embarassing yourself, as a matter of fact you just brought something to my attention. Try uncommenting the #threadAnalysis:off in aporia.nimrod.cfg (just remove the #) and then see if that helps.

Answer 6 · 2014-02-07T20:02:12.000Z

This is what I got after uncommenting #threadAnalysis:off and then running babel build:

Answer 7 · 2014-02-07T20:14:29.000Z

Hrm, so now the Nimrod compiler is generating incorrect C code. Try running nimrod c -d:release --parallelBuild:1 aporia.

Answer 8 · 2014-02-07T20:14:47.000Z

Maybe you could fix the C code manually or try gcc.

This is what I get when I run nimrod c -d:release --parallelBuild:1 aporia

Answer 10 · 2014-02-07T20:20:54.000Z

I've got gcc 4.2 installed. How do I use it?

Answer 11 · 2014-02-07T20:40:53.000Z

Pass --cc:gcc IIRC or edit /Users/eep2ak/Nimrod/config/nimrod.cfg.

Answer 12 · 2014-02-07T21:19:46.000Z

I made the change cc=gcc from cc=clang in nimrod.cfg, below the line @if macosx

@Araq tells me that there is a corruption on Mac OS X which causes this so there isn't much we can do but wait until he or somebody else who is familiar with the compiler internals fixes it.

Answer 14 · 2014-02-08T04:34:40.000Z

Ah, too bad... thanks for all your help though!

Answer 15 · 2014-02-09T01:43:03.000Z

Was no corruption but a regression in the compiler due to how closure iterators work.

Answer 16 · 2014-02-09T06:42:40.000Z

Thanks, I was able to build Aporia successfully after rebuilding nimrod from the latest commit
I appreciate the quick responses and help from dom96 and the quick resolution from Araq.
It's precisely this kind of a swiftness that's needed by a nascent language like nimrod to sustain the attention of newbies like myself early on. Keep it up!
